Navy Women's Raglan Sweatshirt

I have made this pattern before, in a royal and black combination and it seems to be my go-to item on a weekend. It is a good mix of comfy and stylish.

My fabric is from a new-to-me place, Stylish Fabric but I ordered this fabric from their Etsy Store. One of the items I ordered in addition to this fabric, was these swatch cards. These have been wonderful to have and I have used them on several occasions. Don't you think color match is one of the hardest things when ordering online? With these cards, I found the perfect navy for the print in the sweatshirt.

I tend to make this pattern just a bit bigger, in winter I layer it with a button shirt. A mental note, if I want it only as a sweatshirt, I am going to go down a size. This pattern has a longer length, so note that if you need to make adjustments.

My first official fall garment for 2015, I will be ready for the next high school home football game.

Super cute! I'm giggling a bit because after making my fall/winter sewing list last night, it's heated up today with a high of 88. So fall sewing feels pretty silly! But you're so smart to prepare for the fall before it hits- you'll be ready! :)
